"A One Key hotel in Orta San Giulio with a Three Star restaurant within." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Just a stone’s throw from the enchanting village of Orta San Guilio with its picture-postcard views of the lake and San Giulio island, this three-Michelin-starred restaurant boasts a stunning location within a late-19C Moorish-style villa. Impressive both inside and out, this aristocratic residence was once the home of the Crespi family. Today, the villa’s leading light is Antonino Cannavacciuolo, who is now at the helm of a number of Michelin-starred restaurants, of which the Villa Crespi, the most famous and celebrated of them all, is the flagship. Although this chef originally from Vico Equense in Campania takes inspiration from all over Italy and further afield, it is the passion, colour and intense flavours of his native region that shine through in all his dishes. A truly extraordinary experience, with the lake and the villa’s beautiful garden as a backdrop." - Michelin Inspector
"Villa Crespi, led by chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo, in Orta San Giulio, joins the elite of the fine-dining world with three MICHELIN Stars. Set against the magical backdrop of Lake Orta, in a historical Moorish-style residence immersed in age-old grounds, this remarkable success story began way back in 2003, when the restaurant was awarded its first MICHELIN Star, followed by a second in 2006. Sixteen years later, the chef from Italy's Campania region, sees his Piedmont-based restaurant awarded three MICHELIN Stars, an honor reserved for fewer than 140 restaurants worldwide." - La Guida Michelin
"You could be forgiven for thinking there’s nothing really all that out of the ordinary about Villa Crespi, but only if you had a good reason for thinking it was in Istanbul. As it stands, Villa Crespi is in the north of Italy, less than an hour from Milan, on the shores of Lake Orta." - Mitchell Friedman
"Villa Crespi is in the north of Italy, less than an hour from Milan, on the shores of Lake Orta—which makes this hyper-opulent Moorish-style palace (minaret and all) one of Italy’s most eccentric and extraordinary small hotels." - The MICHELIN Guide
